Highlighting the importance of security, he mentioned that these firms would tackle potential cyber and national security risks associated with their systems. To build trust, he added, companies will label AI-generated content, making consumers aware of its origins.

Despite AI’s potential benefits, Biden emphasized the need for vigilance against the risks that emerging technologies might pose to democracy and societal values.
